Ziko,
Although as Presidents of chapters located on the opposite sides of the
world I never had that much to do with you, when I *did* have cause to
interact I always found you unfailingly polite, approachable, and
unfailingly dedicated to our shared mission. Thankyou for your service,
and I
Thank you Ziko for your huge contribution to WMNL, to the chapters, and to
the movement in general.
בהצלחה (Good luck) on whatever you going to do next.

Dear Ziko,
Let me take the opportunity to thank you for all the efforts over the past
years. While we do not always agree on everything it was pleasure exchanging
ideas with you and I felt that the leadership of the Dutch chapter was in great
hands while you where the chair of the Dutch board.
Hoi,
Video conferencing is ok-ish.. at best. It does not give you the
opportunity that face to face communications gives you. It does not allow
you to get through the fog of misunderstanding, Really, when the right
people go for the right reasons, it pays its dividents.
Cost is only one criteria

Hoi,
When there is enough money to go around, efficacy should be the primary
consideration. When charitable funds are available and they are not spend
because of misplaced frugality, it is obvious to me that priorities are out
of kilter.
Your second arguments makes more sense but also up to a
I don't think the costs are the issue here, neither if there is streaming
or not (and I don't think we need to have one. It's WMCconf, not Wikimania).
But we have strict rule - two representatives, 3 if you have ED. I also saw
that some chapters have more than that, and I really don't know why.
Hi Cristian,
Yes. I sort of expected WMDE to be the ones implementing the 2+1
'rule' and if there was to be any exceptions for this to be discussed
before they added names to the registration page.
Anyway, I've already posted quite a bit on this thread, so I'll step
back a little - it's not like
Hoi,
Fae what I object to is assuming going to a conference with too big a
delegation is a waste of money by definition. In your reply you mention *

Just to be clear, there was no only 2 representatives plus an ED rule

If there had been, then Wikimedia UK would have respected it.

A few points.
There is no policy to restrict participation to three representatives.
Indeed, many chapters are sending more than three delegates as has been the
case in previous years.

The additional trustee is also talking so Jon's points stand. It's great that
Wikimania representatives will be there, and that a WMUK member will also be
there as part of the FDC. However, while I certainly hope those individuals are
happy to represent WMUK, they're really not relevant to

This is totally surprise for me. I checked the last years participation
lists, and none of the chapters sent more than 2+1 representatives. The
idea all this years was very simple: to keep the conference small as
possible in order to have effective discussions, and to allow all the
